How Do I Get A Copy Of My Crash Report?
Were you involved in a car accident in the state of Nevada? Has your vehicle or other property been damaged and is in need of repair? Did you suffer injuries that are in need of medical treatment? Do you plan to claim insurance benefits or file a lawsuit for compensation? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’ll want to secure a copy of your official Nevada accident report.
This is a document where the officer who was called to the scene of the crash will take note of all of the important details about the accident. Examples of some of the information contained in the report include:
- Vehicle information (model, body type, make, year, color, license plate number, etc.)
- Driver information (license number, contact information, insurance information, etc.)
- Time, date, and location of the accident
- Reporting agency information
- Injuries and fatalities suffered in the accident
- Property damage sustained in the accident
- Any non-motorist (pedestrians, cyclists, passengers, eyewitnesses) information
- Diagram which visually displays the events of the accident
- Narrative description of the accident
Common Questions About the Nevada Crash Report
You can file a report yourself, if an officer was not called to the scene of the accident. However, you should always do your best to contact local law enforcement at the scene of the crash, as they will be able to file the report in the most efficient manner. Additionally, reports filed by officers tend to hold more significance during the claims process, as they provide a more clear and less biased account of the accident.
Your report is considered public record and is available to anyone who can provide the driver’s name, as well as the date, time, and location of the accident.
You can mail a completed accident report request, along with the $10.00 processing fee, to your regional Nevada Police State Highway Patrol office. Unfortunately, in addition to the unnecessary fee you have to pay, it can take several weeks for the government to process and fill your request.
It typically takes ten business days from the date of the accident for the accident report to become available for request.
